WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Chargers lineup will feature several players who gained experience as young guys last season. Look for that experience to pay off in 2023 as they look to compete for the Eastern Plains 2A Conference Championship.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We started a lot of younger players last year and hope that experience pays off for us this season. Some of those young players are going to have to take a larger leadership role within our offense and on the mound.
